MENSWEAR JUSTICE: Tory Leather

The belt I've had for the past few years (I stole it from my Kindergarten best friend's dad, I think) finally broke, finally giving me the opportunity to buy a new one from Tory Leather.  All the cool kids have known about Tory belts for years, and I felt left out without one.  I opted for the 1-inch Havana leather with a standard brass buckle.  I have nothing but undying praise.

Why are you so great, Tory Leather belt?  Why are you made in America?  Why are you bench-made from American leather?  Why are you only $30 with shipping?  Why does anyone buy any other belt but you?
Your quality is impeccable.  Your English bridal bridle leather is so smooth.  Your stitching is beautiful.  Your brass fastenings ensure me that your buckle won't eventually fall off, leaving me with nothing but a stylish DIY key fob.  You are solid and durable, yet slim and stylish.  You are made in America.  You are the best belt in the $20-50 range.  You are probably the best belt in the $50-100 range, but you are not in that range because you are $30.  You are the best belt I have ever owned.

If you are looking for a standard leather belt, there is no reason to buy anything other than Tory Leather.  They're affordable, they're well-made, they support the American workforce and economy.  Why buy a poorly-made, foreign-manufactured belt from Target for the same price?  Why buy a similarly cheap, similarly foreign belt from Gap for more?  Tory Leather: the best bang for your buck.  Tory Leather: 21-century American heroes.  Tory Leather: FOOD JUSTICE.
Tory Leather belts are a bit tough to find, but are usually available at online equestrian stores.  Check out their website for styles, and search the tack store circuit for what you want.  I got mine from horseloverz.com.
